@CodingLily @Mrczar_ If this is all true, I hope this is really what happens

@Mrczar_ Raid? Stop being dramatic abeg, there are volunteers for these things with arangee payment plan and everything, this is the 21st century please 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

Today I learnt that If a wealthy man’s son commits a crime in Nigeria and gets sentenced to prison, they’ll raid poor neighborhoods, pick up an innocent boy, and swap him in. The rich kid goes home & the poor kid serves the sentence. This is why most of those raids happen.

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules: 1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand. 2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark. 3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby. 4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free 5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort. 6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work. 7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you. 8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn. 9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them. 10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out? 11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long. 12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny. 13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again 14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own 15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy Good luck !

Can we go back to the good old days where our (England) biggest problem was Rooney's broken metatarsal.

Why are 90% of the pens in Nigeria (well, Lagos) made of trash? Use them for two seconds and they go dry like a snail that got turned off. Even new ones just gotten off the shelf - or whatever container they were in 😩

How many rounds of the Electric Slide does a flash-group have to do before it gets boring?

Unpopular opinion: photos are much better for product sales than videos - especially on Instagram.

“As long as you have some core of users who love you, all you have to do is expand it. It may take a while, but as long as you keep plugging away, you'll win in the end.” Paul Graham on How Not to Die:

@thatMrT @GbengaWemimo Leaders are selected from the people. You can't separate them. They are one and the same.

@GbengaWemimo In every country, the leaders set example of how the followers behave. If the leaders are looters, should the followers be saints? Who enables the looting?

My wife bought a brand new iPhone at the Apple store located at Jakande, Lekki Phase 1,Lagos last September. We decided to trade it in for a new one today at the Apple Store located at Westfield Stratford City Arcade (London) a few minutes ago Only God did not let them call the police on us The attendant scanned the IPhone and declared that it had been reported as stolen. Stolen from where? It was not a used iPhone It was new, purchased from an approved Apple Store and we have all the receipts intact The attendant saw our indignation and went ahead to consult with her superiors They scanned again and they declared that it was reported “missing”. They adjusted their language from stolen to missing and told us it has zero swap value. I was not shocked at all even though I should be. Nigerians like cutting corners for unhealthy gains and they always believe this is good business for them as long as they were able to make a buck. Somehow we were able to walk out of that Apple Store without any drama but I remember telling my wife that we would have had a lot of explaining to do if they had a policy that required that they must report such incidents to the police. Nigerian business people must try to do better than this There is something called integrity, it has a higher value than the dirty gains they think they are getting by playing dirty. I have always insisted on buying things in Nigeria because it helps the economy but I can see the reason many prefer to shop abroad. We must do better than this as a people. -GSW-

Hello @Sterling_Bankng I initiated a transfer on July 30 yet it's still pending. Can I assume it won't go through and go ahead to initiate another one? I don't want to double pay

Is anyone else exasperated with how newsterlingpro times out while using the site? This is 2025 @Sterling_Bankng. It's enough to make me entertain the thought of using another bank.

How do I remove a song from queue without clearing the entire queue @Spotify? Why remove that function? 😢😢😢

@Shazam and @Authy are the same logo with different colours

@gtbank is very wickedly fraudulent You charge for transactions that didn’t go through Payment should be for service rendered How can failed ussd be charged? The worse being you don’t charge immediately. If a process fails one tries again only to be charged multiple times later

@Issossy_ @_ehimare @KraksTV Please invite me to the wedding 💍

@_ehimare @KraksTV At this point I think I’m now in love with you not only your contents 😂😂❤️

Best video you’ll see today FR😂😂😂😂😂🤣 - Kitchen drama🔥

@FrigidIamthedon @Rothmus So that's someone's job? To commit such acts on virgins?

@Rothmus Well heres some food for thought

False.

@bufffakecel @MelissaJeanSays @JeremyDBoreing So people of colour have the numbers to swing the vote that much? Women v white women 😲

@MelissaJeanSays @JeremyDBoreing He's jewish, they hate White people. White women are far less *woke* than any POC

Woke corporations spend all of your money on DEI. We spent it on a better razor (and a blacker Jeremy). Introducing the Second Generation Jeremy’s Razor - radically redesigned so you can shave like a man, not a manifesto.

@GtbankH12907 Ode, who is complaining? AI wey no get sense.

Charging customers for unsuccessful transactions since 1901 but they're not the scammers. @gtbank weh done 👏
